Multi axis suspension vessel

Abstract

A vessel with three platforms—an outer hull, an inner deck hull and a passenger carriage, having four independent suspension systems there between so as to accommodate for the multi axis movements of the outer hull. This multi axis suspension system spread between the three platforms will offer the passenger carriage stability against the pitch, yaw and roll rotations a vessel makes as it twists and turns going up and down the slope of a wave as well as the heave, sway and surge movements induced by the waves pushing the vessel around and or the ship sliding down the face of a wave.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows: 
     
       1. A marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system, comprising:
 an outer hull, said outer hull having a first mass; 
 an inner deck hull having a floor, said inner deck hull having a second mass; 
 a vertical suspension system extending above said inner deck hull, wherein said vertical suspension system is operatively connected between said inner deck hull and said outer hull so as to hold said inner deck hull in a spaced configuration above said outer hull so as to form a double hulled vessel; and 
 a fore and aft suspension system between said inner deck hull and said outer hull; and 
 wherein said second mass is greater than said first mass. 
 
     
     
       2. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a motor for a propulsion system affixed to said inner deck hull; and 
 a fuel tank affixed to said inner deck hull. 
 
     
     
       3. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 at least one front vent formed through said outer hull; 
 at least one side vent formed through said outer hall; 
 at least one bottom louver formed through said lower hull; and 
 at least one front vent duct connected between said front vent and said bottom louver; 
 a bellows seal, said bellows seal continually affixed between said inner deck hull and said outer hull. 
 
     
     
       4. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 1 , said fore and aft suspension system further comprising:
 a suspension unit having two outer shock absorbers and one central shock absorber assembled in a parallel configuration at their distal and proximal ends by a pair of assembly plates; 
 wherein said outer shock absorbers are each oriented with a first extendable ram at a bottom end and said central shock absorber is oriented with a second extendable ram at a top end; wherein 
 said first extendable rams are pivotally affixed to said outer hull and said second extendable ram is pivotally affixed to said inner deck hull, and 
 wherein said fore and aft suspension unit is disposed at an acute vertical angle. 
 
     
     
       5. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a trough, centrally formed along the centerline of the vessel in the outer hull; 
 a linear, U shaped member affixed into said trough; 
 a shock mounting box affixed into said U shaped member at said front end of the vessel; 
 a mount affixed to the inner deck hull at said front end of the vessel; 
 wherein said front suspension unit is pivotally affixed at its said upper end to said mount in said upper deck hull and said front suspension unit is pivotally affixed at its lower end to said shock mounting box in said outer hull. 
 
     
     
       6. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 5  further comprising:
 a motor for a propulsion system affixed to said inner deck hull; and 
 a fuel tank affixed to said inner deck hull. 
 
     
     
       7. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 6  further comprising:
 at least one front vent formed through said outer hull; 
 at least one side vent formed through said outer hall; 
 at least one bottom louver formed through said lower hull; 
 at least one front vent duct connected between said front vent and said bottom louver; and 
 a bellows seal, said bellows seal continually affixed between said inner duck hull and said outer hull. 
 
     
     
       8. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 4  further comprising:
 a vertical suspension system extending above said inner deck, wherein said suspension system is operatively connected between said inner deck hull and said outer hull so as to help support inner deck hull in a spaced configuration above said outer hull so as to help maintain the configuration of said double hulled vessel. 
 
     
     
       9. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 8 , said vertical suspension system further comprises:
 a first set of at least two vertical shock absorbers; 
 a second set of at least two vertical shock absorbers, said second set arranged as a mirror image of said first set about a linear axis of said vessel; 
 wherein all of said vertical shock absorbers have an outer housing from which protrudes an extendable ram, said outer housing affixed to said inner deck and extending upward from said floor of said inner deck, and said extendable ram affixed to said outer hull. 
 
     
     
       10. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 9 , wherein said second set of at least two vertical shock absorbers are arranged on said inner deck as a mirror image to said first set of at least two vertical shock absorbers said mirror image taken about a linear axis of said vessel. 
     
     
       11. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 10  further comprising:
 a pair of two troughs formed along a top face of said outer hull below said floor of said inner deck, said pair of two troughs arranged as mirror images of each other about said linear axis of said vessel; 
 at least two U shaped, structural members, one of said structural members affixed in each of said troughs so as to form a first channel below said first set of at least two vertical shock absorbers and a second channel said second set of at least two vertical shock absorbers; 
 at least two pair of parallel braces with at least one pair formed across said first channel and with at least one pair formed across said second channel; 
 at least two pair of parallel rods rigidly mounted between each of said pair of parallel braces; 
 a bracket slidebly mounted on each pair of parallel rods; and 
 wherein said extendable ram of said shock absorbers are attached to said brackets so as to allow angular vertical movement of said vertical shock absorbers. 
 
     
     
       12. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 11  further comprising a pin extending across said bracket and through an orifice in said extendable ram. 
     
     
       13. The marine vessel with a multi axis suspension system of  claim 5  wherein said front suspension is disposed at an acute vertical angle.
